This paper, through theoretical framework, describes production of the mobile application design for sailors which is focused on user oriented design. It explains the history of user oriented design, meaning of user experience, what kind of role it has in the design process and who are the people who deal with this kind of design. Methods of research and testing methods that are implemented through the process of creating user oriented design are explained as well. In the experimental part of paper, we are introducing the results of the survey testing on the targeted audience. After the survey, a persona was created and open and closed cards were sorted. From there, we conducted a further testing on paper prototypes and wireframes, in order to get a basis to continue with the design process of the application that puts the accent on the user experience. The goal of this type of research is to assess the functionality and flexibility of mobile applications to the user. The application is designed for mobile phones that are using operating system Google Android.
